Solve Your Winter Skin Problems -- Stat!

Chapped lips and scaly dry skin are no match for these expert tips and hard-working products

Q: What's the best way to heal chapped skin? A: With dry, irritated skin use an oil-based moisturizer that offers "barrier repair" (try Dermalogica Barrier Repair, $36). Kauvar explains that it helps restore the lipid balance to your skin. For optimum penetration, apply it immediately after cleansing. Lightly pat your skin dry -- so it's still a bit damp -- then slather on the moisturizer.

I'm sorry but there's no way I'm avoiding my hot winter baths. Honestly I would die without them. Plus I feel 100 times better after taking a bath and putting on lotion. That's my winter routine and I'm sticking to it.
